Leeds took one step closer to the Premier League on Saturday afternoon with a dominating 2-1 win over Preston North End at Elland Road.
Manor Solomon’s early strike from range got the Whites off to the perfect start, before Kaine Kesler-Hayden levelled proceedings minutes later. Leeds were back in front shortly after as Jayden Bogle turned in Solomon’s deep cross to restore the Whites’ advantage.
Elsewhere, Sheffield United threw away a one-goal lead against Plymouth Argyle and were beaten for the third consecutive Championship game, slipping five points outside the automatic promotion places.

Another lively cameo. Wanted the ball, dealt with it well. Worked to get back when he needed to defend. Photo: George Wood
15. Referee - John Busby: 8/10
Very steady performance, missed little and had no serious controversy to deal with. Photo: Stu Forster
